    Sue Hooper MBE

    I enjoy painting more mature faces. This wonderful lady turns 80 this year. Sue set up the Sue Hooper Foundation many years ago, supporting young people in realising their dreams in the performing arts. I hope that I have captured her gentle kindness, graceful elegance, and mature glamour. If that's how she comes across...job done.πŸ™‚.

    International Womens' Day

    International Womens' Day

    Happy International Womens' Day to all of you ladies out there...I hope the day brings you something that makes you smile. Thought I would share a portion of my portrait of the most beautiful woman in the world ( in my opinion)...my daughter Phoebe.

    Snuggle with Archie

    Snuggle with Archie

    Last year I painted a lovely expectant mum towards the end of her pregnancy. This commission is an update, cuddling her beautiful baby boy. Portraits can capture precious moments, and can easily be arranged through Artfinder and directly via my website.

    Self portrait in progress

    Self portrait in progress

    I haven't painted myself for almost 6 years, so as I often say that I like painting faces as they age, thought I'd better do the same with mine. It's not a pretty face, and I don't like looking in the mirror for that reason, but it is interesting to be forced to study it in the same way that I study other people's faces.

    Viva Las Vegas

    Viva Las Vegas

    Commission in progress for a regular collector in Europe. It has thankfully injected a little bit of Vegas sunshine into my dull studio today. That's me done for a few days... wishing you all a very merry Christmas, and all good things for 2024. πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸ™‚πŸ™‚

    A level workshop.

    A level workshop.

    This is the time of year that I take A level workshops at local schools. I take along something that I have started and demonstrate my painting process. This week, I took along Judi Dench in progress, I have done more to her today, and she will be available to buy from my shop page when she's completed. Such an elegant lady.

    Portrait workshops

    Portrait workshops

    This is the time of year that I do workshops in schools with the new A level students. I generally take something along that I have started, and talk them through my painting process as they watch me do more to it. This Paul Weller will go along with me to an art society workshop on Friday, I will have to come up with a new half done portrait for a school at the end of the month. I enjoy meeting the new students, I like to look at their work and draw inspiration from it as they do from mine ( hopefully πŸ™‚).
